The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 47: The Great Injustice of Being a Slave 3

"Your Highness, I left in such a hurry that I didn't even say goodbye to my wife. Please send someone to tell her that my wife's distant cousin is staying at home. He's not feeling well. I have some money here. Please send it to them."

The prince looked at him mischievously: "I heard that the daughter of the Minister of Revenue wants you to be her husband. I didn't expect that you are already married. Alas, my beautiful lady, it seems that you are not destined to be Yan Li."

Ji Yanli smiled and said, "I dare not lie, but since I have already married a wife, I must be responsible for her to the end. Wait...I want to take her to reunite with us."

His words made the prince think more highly of him. He immediately accepted his letter and banknotes.

"Don't worry, I will have someone bring it to you as soon as possible."

Ji Yanli thanked him again and stepped back.

There was a smile on his lips. In the prince's opinion, it was because he had written a letter home to his wife, but only Ji Yanli knew that when the prince's people found Du Yue, Du Yue's performance would not disappoint him.

Sure enough, the person sent by the prince came back and brought back the family letter and banknotes intact.

The prince was stunned.

"Is the person...gone?"

In troubled times, life is too fragile and there are too many separations and deaths, so he wants to end this chaotic world as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, I went to Doctor Ji's house. His wife..."

The man was unable to put it into words, "His wife is having an affair with two men."

The prince looked slightly startled, and after a moment, he sighed, "Never mind, that woman is simply unlucky. I'll come back and talk to him about this in person."

The subordinate bowed and retreated.

Half a month later, the old emperor passed away. The Imperial Astronomical Observer predicted that the prince would ascend the throne in the spring of the following year.

There was also good news coming from the front line. In the 800-mile express message announcing the victory, the commander specifically mentioned Ji Yanli's contribution.

He developed a substance called penicillin, which greatly reduced the casualties among soldiers. Many soldiers who were originally seriously injured and could only wait to die were able to recover again, which made the soldiers more brave and more motivated.

The imperial court was a regular army, and the soldiers were all professionally trained. The old emperor was incompetent and incompetent, and the strong army was unable to meet famous generals, so no matter how much strength they had, it would be useless. But the prince was different. He treated the wise and humble with respect, valued talents, and everyone could display their talents in the right place.

The entire battlefield was unstoppable.

Although Ji Yanli was a military doctor, he could also feel that kind of heroic spirit.

Everyone has hope in their heart. The ultimate goal of war is to end war.

The following spring, when the prince ascended the throne, the rebels were completely defeated and fled.

The commander-in-chief left behind a few trusted confidants and several troops to wipe out the remnants, and he led the large army back to the capital first.

Ji Yanli also followed the main force. He was not the main force, but he made an indelible contribution. The soldiers also respected him. When they learned that he was going to take his wife back first this time, they all joined in the fun.

"Xiayan Village? That's the village my cousin married into! Brother Ji, I didn't expect you to be from Xiayan Village. It's fate!"

Ji Yanli smiled and said, "Well, my wife is from Shangyan Village. I'll hold a banquet after I buy a house. Brothers, please come and enjoy a drink if you have time."

"no problem!"

"Brother Ji, you saved my arm. You are my real brother!"

"I will definitely go for a drink then. I'll bring my wife along so she can meet my sister-in-law."

After returning to the capital, the soldiers were rewarded. Ji Yanli was also appointed as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and was rewarded with 100 taels of gold, a house with five courtyards, and two manors with hot springs.

The Imperial Hospital had a small library containing many rare medical books. Ji Yanli was so delighted that he wished he could dive into it and absorb all the contents like a sponge.

But the play that needs to be done still has to be done.

Three days after the crown prince's coronation ceremony, Ji Yanli took leave and planned to return home, but was stopped by Zheng De.

Zheng De was already dressed as the chief eunuch. He looked at Ji Yanli with a look of relief and complexity. He was relieved that his vision was indeed good and Ji Yanli was indeed a capable person. But the complexity was that this brother was cuckolded to an extremely creepy degree.

Later, His Majesty sent people to investigate the matter of Ji Yanli's wife and found out that the cousin of the wife he mentioned was not a real relative at all, but his wife's lover.

Good boy! This is keeping an adulterer in the house openly!

Even the knowledgeable His Majesty was stunned.

Thinking of this, Zheng De looked at Ji Yanli with pity unconsciously.

Ji Yanli couldn't help rubbing his arms when he saw him: "Brother Zheng, it's okay, I'm leaving first. I'm scared of you like this."

Zheng De held him still, unable to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

How can I say this without hurting his brother's feelings?

You don't have to worry about your wife, and her cousin has two men living in your house to take care of her?

It’s okay, being cuckolded is a small matter. The important thing is to survive in this world, right?

If you really say that, Ji Yanli would probably slap you in the face.

"Well, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is busy with state affairs. Your health is really not able to bear it. Please don't rush back. Wait a little longer."

Wait until he figures out what to say.

Ji Yanli refused, "Don't worry, Brother Zheng, I'll be back soon, it won't take a few days."

"No! You can't leave!"

Ji Yanli looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong, Brother Zheng, is there something wrong?"

Ji Yanli's face suddenly turned pale. "Is it my wife? Did something happen to her?!"

With that said, he was about to run out.

Zheng De quickly grabbed him again.

"Nothing happened to your wife. She just found two more men for herself."

Ji Yanli's face was full of confusion and he looked dazed, which made Zheng De curse Du Yue over and over again in his heart.

"Hey, there are always better fish in the sea. Don't overthink it."

Ji Yanli's face was pale and his eyes were slightly red. He didn't speak for a long time.

Zheng De patted his shoulder and left with a sigh.

As for what to do, it is up to Brother Ji to make the decision himself.

Ji Yanli seemed overwhelmed with grief, his eyes red as he plunged into the library, not emerging until five or six days later. When he emerged, his energy drained from him, leaving those who knew the truth with a pity.

Ji Yanli ignored those glances; he had been taking this opportunity to legitimately get rid of Du Yue and Cheng Mingqi. He couldn't abandon his wife now that he was rich, but if she had cheated on him multiple times and ignored his life or death, then he would be right.

The next step is to completely break up with Du Yue.

He took a few days off and a few brothers who were on good terms with him went back with him. The soldier who said last time that his cousin married in Xiayan Village was also there.

They watched Ji Yanli hurrying along with a heavy heart, hoping it was all a misunderstanding, otherwise...

"Cheng Mingqi, are you still a man? You don't go out to make money, and you want me to support you? You dream!"

"You said you would support me, and now you're unwilling to do so? What's the matter? I'm not a paraplegic lying in bed letting you beat and scold me. If you continue to act like a bitch, don't blame me for spanking you!"
